Cops (some) have gotten out of hand. Now they're shooting pretty white women.

Appeals Court: Officer Who Shot and Killed Innocent Man in His Own Home Cannot Be Sued
We are in a dangerous era. In that, agents of the government (police) are able to kill innocent civilians and get away with it; by avoiding prosecutions, indictments or convictions.
This case needs to go before SCOTUS

Do you think you or I would own a firearm RIGHT NOW if it were not for the NRA ?
As such, I am not about to criticize them - EVER.

Yes you would. The NRA has never challenged NY gun laws ever.

None of the courts are a check on government anymore. Any faith in them to rule appropriately is misplaced and their track record is dismal at best.
They are full of statists that will go through mental gymnastics to justify whatever their agents do.

Along with an asset forfeiture case. Unfortunately, after Kelo v. New London and the Obamacare rulings, I have no faith that the SCOTUS would make any effort to protect individuals anymore.

Roberts is compromised, blackmailed, his vote led to the legalization of the second worst, well maybe a tie for worst, supreme court blessed unconstitutional law in my life time, dopama care. Don't count on him when the chips are down.

Agreed the courts are suppose to be a check on government. But now in our age, the courts have mutated and fused into that corrupted system.
I don't know if you ever had to go to court for any reason (civil, family, traffic or criminal) they're all corrupt. It's all about how much money they can get from you. Just like the other branches of govn't. Fees, fines and penalties are what our courts care about.
If you think the NRA grants you gun rights, more power to you.
None for me, thanks.
The NRA chooses battles it can win.
NY and MA are hopeless cesspools of Liberal-Think. I'd not spend a cent on them, either.
I used to give money to local organizations, only to see them fail over and over and over. Now I donate to the NRA and the few Politicians I believe can help - and no one else.
The only way we'll ever be saved is at a NATIONAL LEVEL.

Adding control to your list too.
OT but statistically speaking, overall crime rates will never really drop when new laws are created endlessly to manufacture more criminals out of previously LAC.
Obviously the NRA does not "grant" rights.
It does, however, PROTECT rights.
As a fellow Serf, I understand your frustration.
But due, at least in some part, to the efforts of the NRA, most of our country has actually seen their Firearm Laws relaxed in the past few years.

They didn't want to support Heller either. They fought Alan Gura tooth and nail to drop the case.

NRA all the way
Would it not be in the NRA's best interest in not fighting? the flip side in all this is that the NRA receives a hell of a lot more money when the 2nd Amendment IS Infringed upon. Last I knew NY was the largest contributor to the NRA. It's all about the money!
Money makes the World go round, and there is nothing wrong with that.
And even if the 2A was solidified, the NRA would not go away.
Not once in my Lifetime have I ever seen ANY organization dissolve once its goals have been achieved.
For starters: NAACP
Anyways, the NRA is as much a Gun Club as anything else. Half of THE AMERICAN RIFLEMAN is articles on Historical Firearms. It's not all Laws and Politics. Which is how I like it.
Let alone the awesome HARBOR FREIGHT COUPONS.

WTF is the administration even doing, first weed, then healthcare, then ass-firmative action,...
Has Trump entirely forgotten about his home state??

If you think that because they are allies, they are above criticism, you have entered very dangerous territory indeed.

Then they shouldn't be calling me promising to fight FUAC, if only I can fork over another $50 every week.....

Maybe the NRA were afraid of a possible liberal swayed SCOTUS at that time - maybe. The final decision was 5-4 on Heller and McDonald too. Could of went the other way. Very dangerous. (remember common sense is not common)
I don't think any new gun rights challenges should go before this SCOTUS until Ginsberg or another Liberal Justice leaves. Gorsuch only restored the status quo.
